How to Make 5 Spice Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon ground allspice, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Stir in 3 cups rolled oats and 1 cup raisins.
7. Using a small cookie scoop (about 1 tablespoon), drop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
